FSFK Events Details KG vs LBS

Hi Thomas

At event details the fuel data is showing as "kg", for example at "OUT" entry.

The same entry is showing fuel as "lbs" when we look at the same pirep, same entry at our FOC/Flight Operation Center.

Entry from FSFK application:


Entry from FOC pirep:
OUT 16:08 /ZFW 127501 /FOB 20703 /TAW 148204


Thanks in advance

That's because you have configured FSFK to show kg, but PIREP data values are always send in default units. This means fuel weight is always transmitted as pound.

Hi Thomas


Thanks for the answer and its not the point but fuel values must be transmitted as "kg", there is a FAA special report and guidance about that because many accidents happened because of fuel misc calculations all over the world.

In other words fuel default values are in "kg" everywhere.

I assume at the next update will be corrected this.


Thanks for support

I simply cannot change this default behavior as many VAs are already using the FSFK services. A change here would break all others. If you need kg then simply convert it on your server and you are safe.

Oh thanks Thomas

I didn't knew that this can be done.
